Configuration feature to place an instructional message on the HR/Payroll (emPath) login page
A delivered configuration feature is especially helpful for Employee Self Service because clients are given control of a message which appears on the login page. Following is an example:

The configuration, necessary to control the login message, is in the query string on the URL which an employee clicks on to link to the login page. Therefore it works best if the client has a link, to ESS, on their Intranet site or if the client has a front end menu or portal for ESS.
Following is an example of the url which created the message shown above.
